Mother
of 3-year-old Jerusalem picks up son from kindergarten to find him
bruised and apathetic; at the hospital, he is found to have a fractured
cheekbone; kindergarten teacher claims he tripped and fell; police open
investigation on case.

The
mother of 3-year-old Maor from Jerusalem picked him up from
kindergarten bruised and apathetic. After taking him to the hospital, he
was diagnosed with a fractured cheekbone. The kindergarten teacher
claimed he tripped on a Lego and fell—a week later, when Maor managed to
speak, he said, according to his mother, that the teacher had hurt him:
"I asked for water, and she pushed me on the sink."

This is every parent's nightmare. "At one thirty, I came to pick
up my son from preschool and found him with his head hanging down over
the table," a tearful Silvi recalled, after discovering her son had
allegedly been beaten at his kindergarten. Following these developments,
the police opened an investigation into the case.

Bruises on Maor's face

"I thought he was tired and had fallen asleep, so I called out
his name. He lifted his head and to my horror, I saw that half of his
face was swollen, with hematomas and cuts. But what worried me more was
his behavior, he was apathetic. I have twins who suffer from severe
allergies, so I unfortunately know how to identify signs of a loss of
consciousness. He was completely apathetic, his head drooping, and he
only reached out with his arms, speechless. I picked him up and in that
moment, he threw up. I immediately rushed him to the hospital."

Silvi cried throughout the entire interview with Ynet. Even
today, five weeks after the case, she is still finding it hard to return
to normal and comprehend the effect of her baby's injuries.

Maor was going to a Chabad preschool in Jerusalem, a municipal
kindergarten for 3-year-olds. "Their regular teacher went on maternity
leave two months ago and was replaced by a substitute," said the mother.
"I heard other parents say they were unhappy with the substitute, and
that she was treating the children badly. But I never imagined it would
be to such an extent."

Silvi said that in the ER they immediately checked him over when
they saw the state he was in. then asked her what had happened. "They
called the preschool and the teacher claimed he had fallen. Tripped on a
Lego and cut himself. The orthopedist examined Maor and said "I've seen
many cuts in my day, this is no Lego injury."

A facial x-ray showed that Maor suffered a cheekbone fracture
and a mild laceration. He was referred to further testing by a
maxillofacial specialist, and discharged home under observation. "For a
week, Maor couldn't say a word, not even 'mama.' I had to leave work, or
rather I was fired, because I had to care and monitor the child at
home, feed him mashed foods, and mainly, not budge from his side as he
kept crying," continued Silvi.

A week following the injury, during an orthopedist's check up,
Maor finally managed to speak. Silvi said that "the orthopedist asked
him if he could talk and the child only mumbled at first. But then he
burst into tears and said: 'I asked the teacher for a glass of water and
she wouldn't get it for me, so I asked again cause I was really
thirsty, and then again, and she suddenly got angry, took a glass of
water and poured it on my clothes.' The orthopedist asked him where he
had gotten the bruises, and he said: 'she pushed me on the sink.''

The mother continued that "ever since the injury, the child is
having trouble eating and had lost a lot of weight. To this day, he's
still not himself. He is currently seeing a psychologist. Every night,
he's woken up by nightmares, saying 'she pushed me, she hit me, I'm
scared.' He won't go to preschool anymore. The damage she inflicted on
him is mostly psychological, I think. Only a week ago, I finally managed
to go to the police station to file a complaint as I couldn't leave his
side before then. The preschool supervisor told me she had immediately
suspended the teacher, so I wasn't worried. Now we're waiting for the
child protective investigator to question him. I don't know what is
really going on at the preschool, but the parents claim she is still
there."

"This little boy is my whole world. It isn't simple for me to deal
with what happened," she added. "He's such a gentle child, but even if
he were a troublemaker it would be no reason for the kindergarten
teacher to behave like she did. Children are helpless, they're at the
mercy of adults." She continued to say, "I left a healthy kid at
kindergarten, and I expected to him back. My world collapsed on me."

Mazel Tov - Rabbi Hershel Schachter!

CLICK ABOVE PHOTO! Rabbi Moshe Feinstein states the very marriage of a gentile woman to a non observant Jew, is equivalent to an open declaration that she will not observe the precepts. This is so, because it is highly unlikely that the gentile member of such a union, will be more committed to Judaism than her remiss Jewish husband (certainly when they are living together prior to their marriage). Unlike mental or tacit negations, explains Rav Feinstein, open declarations do invalidate conversions. When such cases appear before a rabbinical court, its members actually become witnesses to an acceptance declaration that is not sincere. Therefore, it is no longer a tacit insincerity, but rather an obvious one. As such, they are forbidden to sanction the conversion. Regardless of what this Jewish court may declare, the conversion is invalid and the person is not deemed a member of the Jewish nation. In Iggros Moshe, Letters of Moshe (Yoreh De’ah, no. 157), he writes that “According to the Law, it is certain that one who converts for the sake of marriage, does not intend to keep the commandments, and is not a proselyte at all.”

***CLICK ON PHOTO!*** "Batei Din in our times are not effective in dealing with criminal behavior. Lacking the investigative arm of the police and having restrictive standards of testimony they can not establish guilt. When the culprit is charismatic, he can often get protégés who feel indebted to him to lie to the Beis Din. It takes years before those who have been abused as youngsters to openly face their abuser."
